Have you ever felt like something you didn’t like doing a few years back, and now you’re doing the same thing and you can’t live without it? 🤧 In my case, I wasn’t fond of writing posts or articulating my views on some random topic out there. In my first year of college, I tried a content writing internship. That’s when I got my first earnings of ₹536, and at that moment, the feeling was just awesome 💯 But I did that for a week, and after that, I wasn’t able to meet deadlines. I believed writing wasn’t for me. I thought I couldn’t write. In the middle of my second year of engineering, I joined LinkedIn. Clueless. I didn’t know what to do. what to post. At that time, there was a craze for #100DaysOfCode. I started that, and yeah, I didn’t post regularly. I did it for around 20–25 days approximately, then there was a gap. Started again, did that for approximately 20 more days, and then I quit documenting and started explaining my approach to some question I solved, or something I read from a book (non-fiction ones), etc. And I enjoyed that part more than just documenting or sharing what I did. Explaining or representing my views on something, and if it made even one person comment in context to that topic, I used to feel like: supp brooo.... I’d achieved what was required for me for that particular post. I can’t believe that this is the thing I didn’t even like a few years ago, and now I am enjoying it so much that if I haven’t written anything for a long time, it feels as if a part of me is missing something. Now I love reading, writing, and explaining some topic, or just putting my perspective on the table and being open to conversations, and I love that part. (My favourite one) And nowadays, whenever I get a chance to experience something new, I just say to myself, “Chalo try karke dekhte hain...” And you never know when you’ll find something you can’t even imagine living without.
